    New uncured pepperoni developed in response to consumer demand for premium, versatile deli meats

    AUSTIN, Minn. , July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- COLUMBUS® Craft Meats, a leading brand in premium salumi, has launched its first standalone pepperoni deli product: COLUMBUS® Uncured Pepperoni. A brand rooted in Italian American tradition, the COLUMBUS ® brand recognized an opportunity to bring bold, elevated pepperoni to the deli, crafted for consumers craving premium flavor and versatility.

    COLUMBUS® Craft Meats, a leading brand in premium salumi, has launched its first standalone pepperoni deli product: COLUMBUS® Uncured Pepperoni.

    "The deli pepperoni category has seen significant growth, with $108 million in retail sales and a 5.5% increase year-over-year," said Katie Yan, brand manager for COLUMBUS® Craft Meats. "Nearly 70% of consumers* are looking for new flavors and sizes in deli pepperoni. This product meets that demand with premium quality and versatility."

    COLUMBUS® Uncured Pepperoni is crafted with whole cuts of hand-trimmed pork and seasoned with cracked fennel and paprika — delivering a bold, spicy and smoky flavor profile. Unlike many pepperoni products on the market, uncured pepperoni is slow-aged and never heat-treated, keeping with the brand's commitment to traditional methods.

    With a medium diameter and a slice thickness that balances flavor and texture, this pepperoni is ideal for a variety of uses beyond pizza. It contains no added nitrates or nitrites, except those naturally occurring in celery juice powder and sea salt. It is gluten-free and contains no MSG or trans fats.

    "We saw an opportunity to deliver a pepperoni that fits seamlessly into everyday eating occasions, from sandwiches to school lunches, or just to snack on," said Evan Inada, charcuterie director for the COLUMBUS® Craft Meats brand. "This product is our answer to that demand. It's not just for charcuterie—it's designed for everyday use across multiple eating occasions."

    COLUMBUS® Uncured Pepperoni is available at select retailers nationwide, including Kroger, Albertsons Portland and Mid-Atlantic, Giant Carlisle, Hy-Vee, Save Mart, Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG), Associated Food Stores (AFS) and Ralphs. The product is sold in a 4-ounce tray with a suggested retail price of $5.69.
